Did anyone have the last supper (dinner) before they started the pre-op diet?

I ate a few things I thought I would never be able to eat again. I don't have a problem eating most things though so I wouldn't have had to do that. I would suggest if you want something that you won't be able to eat a lot of, have a hamburger or something with bread. Bread is something hard to eat after banding.

Good Luck with your surgery, and let us know how things went for you.

I am still in the beginning stages of my lapband process and have already thought about a "farewell to food tour"! Try to keep telling myself this is not the right attitude to have to start a new life style but somehow I keep mapping out my restaurant tour.

I said goodbye to a whole slew of different foods. I did not want to feel deprived later on. Hey I found out that some of them I do not think I will actually miss all that much afterall. I will be a different person in respect to food after and this for me is just the important process.:ohmy:

Funny, I was thinking that very same thing today. Should I have a last meal or not, I probably will have a big plate of spaghetti, being Italian I will miss Pasta, even though I have already cut it out and haven't had any for about 6 weeks...my grandmother probably just turned in her grave!!!:ohmy:

I just want to eat at my favorite restaurant since I have no idea when I will get there again post op. We go there once a month or so since it is out of town. I always order the same thing, a petit filet mignon (5oz) with baked potato and salad. The filet is so tender and moist that it literally melts in your mouth. Yumm!

I've been saying goodbye to my favorite foods, and some not so favorite. Been eating a ton of salads, I know I will miss them alot!

I haven't been told about a pre-surgery diet other than nothing to eat or drink after midnight before the day of surgery.

Wonder if I'm missing anything?

Actually though, I'm cleaning out the kitchen and had planned to start getting used to the Protein shakes this coming week.

The night before my pre-op 2 week diet I ate a t-bone steak, mushroom and garlic bread. I figured it might be the last barbequed steak I'd ever eat. It was delicious. I also contemplated having Burger King, but opted for the steak.

I had two meals the two days before I started my pre-op diet that I thought I might never have again. Outback No-Rules Pasta and pizza. I don't miss the pasta, but I love pizza so much. Oh well...the pizza obviously never loved me back! :ohmy:

Yes I did also. I had the Pasta that I am going to miss, and the BBQ also. I gained back about 4 lbs because of it but I don't regret it now that I have been banded for 6 days and lost those 4 lbs plus 20 more on the liquid diet! :grouphug:

I had my last supper a few days before my surgery. I remember what I had suprisingly...a steak, some crab legs and a huge potato. LOL, I am glad I did because the whole steak thing is hard now.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
